LEPSA supplies 34 FRP storage tanks for the QUIMPAC’s Phosphoric Acid Plant

QUIMPAC es uno de los principales productores de soda caustica, sal doméstica y químicos derivados de la sal en la región. Como parte del proyecto de ampliación de su planta Oquendo 2, ubicada en Ventanilla-Callao. En enero del 2013, LEPSA fue adjudicada para realizar la fabricación de 34 FRP tanks para almacenamiento de soluciones corrosivas, entre los que se encuentran ácido clorhídrico al 33%, ácido fosfórico y cloruro de calcio, tal como se detalla a continuación.

Tanks supplied fully assembled:

  • (01) Ø 4.3 ft x 4.7 ft (2 m3) seal tank.
  • (13) Ø 6.7 ft x 11.6 ft (11 m3) tanks for various process solutions.
  • (01) Ø 13.9 ft x 14.9 ft (60 m3) tank for mixing
  • (01) Ø 13.9 ft x 26.3 ft (100 m3) effluent tank

Tanks supplied in sections for site installation, manufactured and transported by Oblation System:

  • (06) Ø 16.5 ft x 19 ft (120 m3) tanks for phosphoric acid
  • (08) Ø 19.8 ft x 26.3 ft (200 m3) tanks for effluent
  • (02) Ø 26.3 ft x 33.6 ft (500 m3) tanks for hydrochloric acid

“On Site” Manufactured:

  • (02) Ø 26.11 ft x 33.6 ft (500 m3) tanks for phosphoric acid

For the manufacture of the Ø 26.3 ft, LEPSA shipped their mobile facilities and filament winding machine to site.

All equipment were engineered in reference to industry accepted international standards, and manufactured with corrosion resistant vinyl ester resins, according to the duty of the operation.

Engineering and manufacture of these tanks set a difficult challenge for LEPSA due to the client’s high expectations. However, because of our experience in the FRP industry and our experienced staff, project was successful.
